    I wore makeup to my onlinr trans support group meeting - just some basic stuff like eyeliner, and mascara, and I got some new femmy glasses... and I wore a padded bra and a skirt and some jewelry.

    At one point during the support group I turned on my self view camera and for maybe the first time in my life I was actually happy with how I looked. Idk what about it but I absolutely HATE looking at myself during zoom phone calls, but this time it's liek, I was like oh my god is that me? I can actually look at myself and I'm not a little disgusted? Is this what I've been missing out on my whole life??

    It was actually a little distracting so I turned it off. But yeah, idk, it was definitely an interesting moment that felt really good 💙

      I literally couldn't look at myself in the mirror or on video before I cracked my egg. I remember walking into a lecture that was simultaneously broadcasting for people who were sick (or just didn't want to go lol) and catching a pretty lady in the corner of my eye when I was VERY early in transition, pre HRT even. And it turns out it was me! It was a little shocking and made me laugh. Now I can look in mirrors if I'm femmed up, which has been nice.

        I could look at myself in the mirror. It was just always kinda a mindfuck for me. Like It was like "Is that me? Really? Weird". But on video, pictures, etc, i couldn't stand looking at myself. Even in a past relationship, my then girlfriend took a video of us having sex (with my consent of course). Watching it I wanted to puke. I never really understood why. After my egg cracked its been now even hard to look in the mirror, so it being not hard feels really really amazing. But I'm very early and not on HRT or anything.. hopefully eventually I can get to where you're at 💙
